Joe McElderry: Weight Loss – 30 Pounds!
Alexandra Burke isn’t the only X Factor celebrity to lose some weight. The newest 2009 X Factor winner, Joe McElderry, has got the music world in his hands. Upon winning the show [an American Idol equivalent] he received a 1.6 million dollar record contract and he’s being whisked off to Los Angeles for recording. He may look like the next big teenage heart-throb right now, but he actually lost almost 30 pounds in order to audition for the X Factor. He told Heat magazine that he went on a self-imposed diet and exercise regime to lose the weight. He said,
“Instead of having chips [french fries], I would have a sandwich or salad.”
The 18-yea-old also took up running on the beach near his house and now he loves it. His new pal Cheryl Cole has been supporting him along the way as he learns to become a star and she has offered her advice if Joe ever feels he needs help in the self-image department. Joe explained,
“Cheryl texts me all the time. She’s been texting us to say, ‘Just enjoy it all,’ and she said, ‘If you ever have a moment where you have a bit of a wobble and think ‘Oh God, what’s going on?’ just give me a ring.’”
Oh dear, celebrities exchanging weight woes. What is the world coming to?
